DESCRIPTION
       Integrates dig as a probe into smokeping. The variable
       binary must point to your copy of the dig program. If it
       is not installed on your system yet, you should install
       bind-utils >= 9.0.0.

       The Probe asks the given host n-times for it's name. Where
       n is the amount given in the Database section of the con-
       fig File.

       Supported probe-specific variables:

       binary
           The location of your dig binary.

       forks
           The number of concurrent processes to be run. See
           probes::basefork(3pm) for details.

       Supported target-level probe variables:

       lookup
           Name of the host to look up in the dns.
